    I have had my studio 1735 since they launched last summer and its in perfect condition except for little black scratches above the speaker bar. there is 2 similarly sized and spaced small scratches that are grey (they stand out). I was wondering if anyone experienced this problem and no of a way to paint over them or order a new metal casing. THANKS =D

    I'd say use car touch-up paint, it probably has the best finish and comes in a colour that matches your laptop.

    Here's a link to a vid of what it is, just skip to 1:45. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUpor0u0Cg0
